(your welcome rod)... but thats what you get when you mix prostock and sportsmans together.

Originally posted by 429racer Can anyone tell me what is needed if i buy the 415 to make the car competitive on carpet?

A front diff, which Tamiya doesn't even make. You need to put together a Yokomo diff or buy the custom made outdrives from a guy listed in this thread.
And the locked layshaft pully (available from Tamiya).

As a long time CGM owner I wanted to change up a bit within the next week, I will be buying a new car, does tamiya or anybody else makes a front diff for the 415, second does the car work better on carpet with or without the LW conversion. its coming the stretch 415 and Mi2.

Tamiya - Surikarn surprised everybody in South Africa in 2002 with his TRF414M2 and took the title in front of all the pre-race favourites in a great way. In Florida he will be defending his title with the TB Evo4. No doubt a very difficult job but he already beat the best once this year at the Reedy Race. This time he will be using another car though, the latest shaft drive Tamiya, the TB Evo4. It seems that the strong TRF team will be running both the TB Evo4 shaft drive car and the belt drive TRF415 at the race. Marc Rheinard and Satoshi Maezumi for example will use the TRF415 while Karn will run the TB Evo4 as mentioned.
